[SOLVED, PARTIALLY] Xorg 1.5 leaves me with freezed and colored screen

I was using xorg-server 1.4 with xf86-video-i810 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1 and it was fine. Today, I upgrade my system and xf86-input-keyboard was upgrade to 1.3.2. With this upgrade, I was able to log into X but my keyboard was unusable. And since I do not have the old package of xf86-input-keyboard (version 1.3.1) in my hard disk, I am unable to go back.
So, I tried to upgrade my system completely including xorg-server 1.4 to 1.5 and xf86-video-i810 to xf86-video-intel. Then I tried starting up X and it gives a colorful screen with vertical lines.
Searched forum a bit and came to know that I can remove my xorg.conf since new xorg detects things on its own. Hence, I deleted xorg.conf and enabled hal in rc.conf. But this also gave me the same result.
Thirdly, I tried removing xbindkeys since there was some mention that it creates problem when starting up with X, but to no avail.
Finally, I tried using "hwd -u" and "hwd -xa" to get an xorg.conf as it was mentioned in some post. it too did not work.
Can someone help me get out of this mess. I'm not able to post links to other posts or my xorg log since I'm on links to browse net and using it first time.
Waiting for your help.[

After trying lot of things and not being able to get xorg-server 1.5 work with my system, the only way remaining was to build xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1 using abs. Here is how I did it (will help those who does not know how to build using abs just as I did not know).
copy the following files in a folder.
/var/abs/extra/xf86-input-keyboard/PKGBUILD
/var/abs/extra/xf86-input-keyboard/new-server.patch
open PKGBUILD file using some editor, e.g. nano. and change the following lines to look like this
pkgver=1.3.1
pkgrel=1
Note, the version and release has to be changed.
Now run this command
makepkg
This will download a file and after a while you will get the following error:
validating source files with md5sums
xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1.tar.gz FAILED
Now run the following command
md5sum -t xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1.tar.gz
THis will give a long series of letters and numbers. Note that down and again open PKGBUILD file. Go to the end of the file and you will find 2 similar series of numbers and letters. Replace the first series with the number you have noted down. Save the file and exit.
Now again run
makepkg
This time, the process will continue and will not fail. You will get the installation file in the same directory, named like xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz.
now, install this file
pacman -U xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Do the same for other files, i.e., xorg-server 1.4 and xf86-video-i810-1.7.4, etc., if you happen to not have them in your hard disk.

    Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
    SOLVED:  IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
    I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
    Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
    THE FIX:  FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device.  Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
    To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now!  :-)
    Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

  • Help with Refreshing and Calling Screens

    Hi everyone.  I have somewhat of a simple ABAP program in which the user will enter data on Selection-Screen 1000.  This will then be loaded into an Object Oriented ALV Grid for display purposes only (screen 0100).  At any time, the user may use the back button on the ALV Grid Screen; which will take them from screen 0100 to screen 1000(Selection Screen).  Lets assume the user does not want to go back to the original selection screen from the ALV Grid Screen; they entered the information correctly and want to continue processing using a custom button I've created which will continue to process the record of data into a BW ODS.  This process works, but now I would like to use the write statement once the custom button is clicked to show a summary of the data I am inserting into the ODS after the data has been inserted.  The problem is, the title of the ALV Grid still shows and the Write statement is processed, but not shown on the screen.  I've been trying to refresh the screen with set screen and call screen combinations, but no luck.  Any Help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    There are some problems with ok_code, you need to assign sy-ucomm at each module.  Also the main problem was that you needed leave to list-processing and suppress dialog before writing.  However, when you do this the screens calls change a little. You also needed to use the container correctly.  Apply the correctons below and you'll be all set. Unfortunaley you will have to play around with calling the sel. screen (1000) from screen 100, I don't think call sel. screen 1000 will work properly there (you might need a custome screen instead).  The user may be okay with kicking back out to sa38 after the alv display, however.  Good luck and don't listen to the clowns' comments above. I once worked in that circus,    Hey Guys.

  • Work Flow with FCP and color correction

    I am looking for a decent workflow between FCP and motion when I need to apply color correction to the clips.
    I have a goup of clips in FCP that I would like to send to motion, animate them and send them back to FCP. Problem is I want to use FCP for the color correction- nicer than motion's. The, all bad options I have come up with are:
    1. color correct in FCP and then send to Motion- will not work because filters are not applied in send.
    2. Export the clips as one QT self containned movie- I lose the clip partitioning.
    3. Exports individual clips to QT then into Motion- I lose the clip ordering
    4. Color correct after I get back into FCP from Motion- clip boundaries are lost making applying color correction harder.
    Any ideas?
    Rick

    I've done this two ways - both variations on the methods you have outlined. First and simplest and one I used last week on a PSP project was to apply the color correction to the Motion clip (.motn file) after it came back from Motion. This is simple and easy, but if you've done titling, you may not want to color correct that.
    The second is as you said to render and export a self contained movie, then import it and copy it onto the timeline above the original clip that produced it, thus (at least organizationally) maintaining a connection between them. I then send the quicktime to Motion.
    Sorry I cannot think of another better way of doing it...

  • [SOLVED- use cairo-xcb]Symbol lookup errors with cairo and awesome

    Hi  guys,
    the last few days i've been getting these errors at start:
    awesome: symbol lookup error: awesome: undefined symbol: cairo_xcb_surface_create
    on xinit. It gets started with "exec ck-launch-session awesome"
    I've narrowed the problem down to awesome itself, even with default rc.lua. Anyone else also getting these?
    http://mirror.selfnet.de/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64 has been my first mirror. The mirror itself seems ok.
    Smells like packaging issue, right? Testing is enabled, so cairo is on 1.10.0-2 and awesome on 3.4.6-1.

  • Having issues with AA8 with freezing and shutting down.

    After a successful install, this app freezes upon starting at the splash screen "Getting Started with Adobe Acrobat...". After about 3 minutes it will unfreeze for about 3 secs. at which point it will shut down without an error message. During the time that it is frozen, the hard drive is pinging intermittently so I assume it is trying to do something although I'm not sure what.
    I am running it on an laptop running Windows XP with plenty of ram and HD space. Also am running without any of the startup programs loading which I believe is call the minimal configuration.
    Any ideas as to why I'm having these issues? TIA

    Actually, you should hold the C key to start up from a Mac OS X install disk. Holding the D key boots into Apple Hardware Test (assuming you've got the right disc in). If both of those things fail, resulting in identical behavior, then it's likely to be a hardware issue.

  • Really unhappy with Bold issues with freezing and Verizon not backing products

    I started a discussion on the issues I'm having a few weeks ago, and things are getting worse.  I bought the Bold online just over 2 months ago, and really liked it at first.  I started noticing that it would freeze up and the only button that would do anything is the screen lock button.  When the phone would lock up, pushing the screen lock would shut the screen down, but nothing else; the phone would be totally frozen.  I would have to take the battery out and reset the phone.  This started happening more often, so I decided I would return it, but when I looked at the paperwork, it said that I had just a few weeks after receiving it to return it.  Of course this time had already passed so I can't return the phone. 
    The problem is now happening 3-4 times a day, and usually at the worst possible times.  I'm also having problems with when I place a call, it goes through, but the person on the other end can't hear me. 
    Its pretty sad that a company will take phones back, "repair" them, and sell them as refurbished, but not back them for longer than a few weeks.  I was surprised to be told when I got the phone that insurance wasn't offered on it, and now I know why that is. 
    I've learned to never buy refurbished again, especially if the company doesn't back its product.  My options now are to spend another $200 for a phone on top of the $100 already spent, or move onto another provider.  My wifes contract with Sprint is almost up and we were going to move her to Verizon, but it maybe the other way around. 

        Hello everyone, there recently was a software update for the Bold that was supposed to address a lot of the audio issues.
    If you have updated and are still having audio issues, or any other issues such as freezing devices, please let us know. The new software version is: 7.1 Release 1737 (App: 7.1.0.580; Platform: 5.1.0.429),
    Thank you,

  • Working with ProRez and wide screen 16x9

    So I am trying to edit HD down to SD using ProRez. FinalCut won't let me edit my sequence in real time unless I have it set to 720x480 with the Anamorphic check box clicked. The problem with this is that when I export out to quicktime and open it anywhere the video is now squished because quicktime is not recognizing that it's a wide screen file.
    If I make my sequence 853x480 it will export just fine but FCP makes me render every clip to have it play in the time line. Anyone else having an experience like this?
    I would love to be able to either edit with Square pixels at 853x480 or just have the widescreen work in 720.

  • Total iMac failure!  Please help.  Problems with freezing, and time machine

    My iMac has started to go crazy over the last week. It started crashing repeatedly, so much so that it could take me 10 tries just to get it going. I was able to run disk warrior and disk utility and neither of those came up with any issues. I took it into the apple store and they repaired permissions and cleared the cache and of course nothing happened while the mac was in the store.
    When I came home I started trying to clear out excess files and organize to save space and memory. I downloaded cleanmymac as well as crucial.com's scanner as recommended by the mac genius. Unfortunately, that night after everything had been working fine, the computer started crashing all over again. I get lines through my screen, it locks up, things get distorted, etc.
    In addition, I noticed today that all of my time machine backups have been deleted from my machine. The only one that exists is a huge one that was created the day after it was examined at the store. I have no idea how that happened as I have not touched the time machine settings. To make matters worse, the time machine will not even back up now. It says there isn't enough space. (There are 160GB available). Shouldn't it just be making incremental backups? All I am doing at this point is deleting files anyway!
    If anyone has any suggestions at all, please offer them!!!

    Hi, unfortunately it sounds as though your Mac needs the attentions of an Apple Service Technician.

  • Troubles with effects and colors in FCPX 10.1.4

    Hi to everybody.
    I have a problem with colors using the effects.
    Lets look at more less neutral picture (picture no 1)
    ftp://ftp.strefa.pl/Zrzut%20ekranu%202014-12-16%20o%2022.34.30%20%283%29.jpg
    If you look at the RGB Parade you see the down part of the RGB distribution is ok.
    But if I start to use any effects the Parade changes in this way:
    ftp://ftp.strefa.pl/Zrzut%20ekranu%202014-12-16%20o%2022.34.54%20%283%29.jpg
    You see, that the down part of the color distribution (for all 3: red. green and blue) is cut-off, even when I use the effects which shouldn't influence on the color.
    I spent some hours to find any logic, and I discovered following regularity:
    1. The source movie I imported came from Nikon D7100 (.mov), 1920/1080i
    2. The behavior of FCPX during the playback of those clips is crazy and ustable (few seconds like in pict.1 few second like in pic. 2).
    3. I have instaled the newest versions of Nikon D7100 firmware and of course FCPX 10.1.4. I think (not 100% sure) the trouble with FCPX appeared after 10.1.4 update.
    4. I don't have any troubles with other camcorder (Canon XF 100)
    Did somebody have simillar effects / troubles with FCPX? Any solutions? I have a job to do, and this situation completly devastating my deadlines.

    You would probably find more direct help by talking to other Nikon shooters who use FCPX. M
    I don't know anything about the Nikon codec or why it might be giving you trouble while others do not but have you tried simply transcoding the footage to ProRes422? Your files will expand by a factor or three or four but you will not have these difficulties.
